Some kind of Coke containers - 7/19/2004 7:29:18 PM    caimaani   Posts: 1 Joined: 7/19/2004 Status: offline Please, could somebody tell me anything about these two containers? I tried to find the answer from web but found nothing. So what are they? What decade are they from? And what are they worth? http://kotisivu.mtv3.fi/kaiperal/Coke.JPG Post #: 1

Coke used brown at the turn of the century. I cant see the coke logo enough to try and date it. IM gonna take a wild thought and think maybe These are bottles that haven't been heated and blown yet. I know with today's plastics a 1-3ltr is shipped in plastic formed like a test tube with the screws on it. Then when it gets to the factory it is heated and blown into a 1, 2 , or 3 ltr bottle. They look weird before they are formed. sorry im no help but just an opinion i bet someone will know Brian _____________________________ Know anyone around Denton Texas that digs?

It really depends on how you got them, a story kind of backs up the idea if they are fake or not. Right now I want to say fake, but I am no expert on Coca Cola, if they are real, they might be some sort of a lab glass? Robert (in reply to caimaani) Post #: 3

By the planking they're sitting on I guess your containers are about 6-8 inches tall? They both appear to have small pouring spouts on their lips so I'd guess they were used for pouring coke syrup before adding soda from a syphon?Perhaps a member with a few more years in might remember seeing something like those in a soda/sundae shop?That's my best guess,no idea of age but would assume they pre-date automatic soda dispensers. Hope somebody can tell you for sure! KAT (in reply to caimaani) Post #: 4
